Versions of external tools used

Paul Schwartz edited this page Jun 23, 2014 · 1 revision

OpenELIS global is built on many other tools and frameworks. Some of them come with the source code, i.e. Liquibase and others will need to be installed before you can install and run the application.

Tomcat

We currently use both Tomcat 5.5 and Tomcat 6. We recommend 6. If you try running it against Tomcat 7 please let us know if you run into any problems. We would like to move to Tomcat 7 but have not tested it yet

Postgresql

We use both 8.3 and 8.4. We strongly recommend 8.4 development but 8.3 is fine if you are not going to do development. We do not recommend trying postgres 9.x. As per their documentation "Major releases usually change the internal format of system tables and data files. These changes are often complex, so we do not maintain backward compatibility of all stored data."

Browsers

We officially support and test on Firefox, IE11, and Chrome.

Liquibase

We use 1.9.4 This matters only for documentation on their web site. The jar file is in the repository and does not have to be downloaded.

Curl

The latest version has always worked. You only need curl if you are enabling the backup scripts.

Java

We develop with jdk1.6 but run with the latest version available for the deployment platform. If you use Java 7 or 8 please test against Java 6 to make sure you are not using any incompatible features.
